A new case to be solved by Miren Triggs and Jim Schmoer, the main characters in The Snow Girl -the #1 international bestseller that inspired the #1 Netflix series.

A contemporary thriller set in New York by Javier Castillo, "undoubtedly, the new phenomenon of European literature." (Joel Dicker, author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair).

New York, 2011. A fifteen-year-old girl is found crucified in a church in the suburbs. Miren Triggs, an investigative journalist for the Manhattan Press, unexpectedly receives a strange envelope. Inside is the Polaroid of a gagged and bound girl, with a single note: "GINA PEBBLES, 2002."

Miren Triggs and Jim Schmoer, her former journalism teacher, will follow the trail of the girl in the photograph as they also investigate the New York crucifixion. They will have to enter a religious institution where everything is secretive while, at the same time, they must decipher three questions whose answers seem impossible to reach: What happened to Gina? Who sent the Polaroid? Are the two stories connected?

With over two million copies sold and translated into ten languages, international bestseller author Javier Castillo introduces the reader to a risky game where the most valuable things are at stake. A novel that plays with the dice of faith and deception, love and pain, with strange rituals and a dark secret that, if discovered, can change everything.
